Employee Reviews


  • “There are ebbs and flows. During the busy time, you work a lot of hours to get the work done, but that gets offset by less busy times of year. Overall, as long as there is communication on needs for your personal life, the firm is willing to work with you.”
  • “Tax season is hard. Pressure on high charge hours and high profitability is also hard. But flexibility of work location and work hours is great. Collegiality and support among partners and colleagues is also great.”
  • “When it's not busy season, it's generally pretty easy to take time off and not over exert yourself with work. When it is busy season, there is next to no time for anything other than work, which can be very draining.”
  • “The culture is excellent, and balance is welcomed and encouraged. I have an immense amount of flexibility. Our vacation policy is also excellent, but at my level and above it can become difficult to take large chunks of it due to constant client demands.”

Getting Hired Here


  • “Our recruiter works with the local offices to get interviews set up quickly and move on decisions in a timely manner. We're looking for hard workers who are ambitious, want to learn and grow, and fit in with our firm culture.”
  • “The ideal candidate has a CPA, is hardworking, and is ready to learn and grow. CPA is not mandatory at this point but still heavily preferred and encouraged if not in hand.”
  • “The firm has a formal department responsible for both college recruiting and recruiting of experienced hires. We look for highly qualified people, with qualifications dependent on the skills we are seeking, and those that we believe fit well with our people and culture.”
  • “Ideal candidates are self-starters and self-motivated, enjoy working in teams with others and serving clients, and can think critically through matters we do for clients.”
